Team SMG parted ways with Damien “kpii” Chok last month, which might not seem like a big deal, but the departure of the Australian Dota 2 esports pro will be very noticeable. His replacement, Ryan “Raging Potato” Jay, is a solid player, but he is a sideways move at best.
Fnatic also made a couple of roster changes last month, replacing Ng “ChYuan” Kee Chyuan and Yang “Deth” Wu Heng with Jaunuel “Jaunuel” Arcilla and Armel Paul “Armel” Tabios, who should prove to be massive upgrades. Most importantly, the roster changes see Djardel Jicko B. “DJ” Mampusti return to the no.4 position, which is a big positive.
That won’t necessarily guarantee them success, but Fnatic deserves the tag as the second-strongest team in the region with their current roster. Meanwhile, we wouldn’t rank SMG higher fifth. Take the orange and black to get it done in two maps.
Fnatic -1.5 maps
TNC PREDATOR vs MOTIVATE.TRUST GAMING Dota 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

TNC Predator lost their opening match of the season, but it was against T1, so we shouldn’t overreact to that defeat. While it was a very one-sided affair, TNC should do better on Saturday.
Motivate.Trust Gaming started the new season with a convincing 2-0 win against Execration, proving that they belong in the upper division. However, one win doesn’t say much, and it’s hard to say how MG.Trust will do when faced with tougher opponents.
We have MG.Trust higher than TNC in our power rankings, but they don’t deserve to be priced at such low odds. TNC have enough experienced players and young talent to cause some damage, and they should be able to steal at least one map on Saturday.
